Puppy 1
(For puppies under 16 weeks)

Proper socialization and training is the key to raising a confident canine that doesn't grow up to bite and fight. This head start program is critical to molding your puppy's developing temperament and personality.

Everything you teach your puppy before it is four months old will be learned quickly; you will learn how to prevent/correct annoying behaviors before they become deep-rooted.

You and your puppy will learn to:

 

Socialize with other puppies and meet a variety of different people
Prevent/correct annoying behaviors
Sit for Greetings
Sit, Down and Stand commands
Stay even when distracted
Come when called
Wait (to respect space)
Watch Me (to stay focused)
Enough & Sit (to settle down)

Drop It/Take It, Leave It exercises
Walk comfortably on leash and follow your movements
Respond to both Voice Commands and Hand Signals
Respond to Distance Commands
Play fun, safe games...and more

 

Puppy 2
(For graduates of our Puppy 1 course and under 8 months of age)

Now it’s time to really have fun with your puppy! Puppy Part 2 is an extremely rewarding class to take part in and it will greatly improve your quality of life, for both you and your dog.

Our goal is to make sure that your adolescent dog remains people friendly, dog friendly and safe. It is imperative that your puppy continues to develop the necessary social savvy it needs in order to become a relaxed, confident and well behaved adult.
